Sand Cordgrass, Spartina bakerii, is a large native bunch grass that grows to 4 ft. in height and taller when in bloom. It is a perennial grass that can spread to 5 feet across or more. It is often used for general ornamental landscape use as an accent as well as for back dropping water gardens and stabilization along pond and lake edges. This is a beautiful and adaptable bunch grass with great ornamental and restoration value. It is important that care should be taken to give each individual plant room for its spread in landscape applications! Less is often more when planning this species in a landscape plan.
